I believe that иномарка and инофирма are just short forms of иностранная марка and иностранная фирма.

I just got an e-mail from a certain Tony with information about the car in the picture. He informs that it is indeed not a Russian car, but a Cadillac Escalade. For more information about the dealer – The Star of Siberia – he also gave me this link: http://www.starsib.ru/produce/26.htm It might be fun to check out

Mary – I’m really upset that you can’t read the Russian on this blog (which is pretty much the point of it all!) and I’m not sure what you can do to fix this situation. Have you tried changing the script on your browser? Go to ‘show’ and then down to ‘coding’ and there you’ll find different kinds of Cyrillic, try them all and see which one allows you to read the Russian on this blog. If you’ve already tried that and it still doesn’t work, then (I hate to say this, but it’s true, even though it makes me sound like a helpless female) try to talk to a man who knows computers about it.

And Shiloh – I’m planning to talk about how to pronounce the word in just a little while. I know I should have a long time ago, but phonetics is my weak side…

I love reading your Russian Blog and find it very interesting. Unfortunately, I cannot read the Russian parts, as it seems to be in some kind of a code. I can read the Russian language, but on the Blog the Russian is illegible. What can I do?
Thanks…..Mary Simmonds

Thank you for your blogs.

I am new to the Russian language, and when I see new words, It helps me. That way if I am able to go to Russia one of these days, I will knowwhat I am looking at. Ihave trouble pronouncing some words and phrases, but I am trying to remember anything I can that will help me.

I really do appriciate your blogs and want to thank you.
